Cellvizio Procedure
Cellvizio’s advanced technology generates optical biopsies using the world’s smallest flexible microscope. Furthermore, providing clinicians with microscopic images of tissue instantaneously and in a minimally invasive manner. Today, over 40 countries and 550 clinics worldwide use Cellvizio. Moreover, this allows us to identify and treat cells changed due to acid reflux before they turn into cancer cells.
Who is the Right Candidate?
Do you suffer from chronic acid reflux? If so, then a Cellvizio may be the diagnostic tool that you need.
What is Cellvizio?
Firstly, doctors use this device for cellular-level microscopy during standard endoscopy. They can resolve cellular morphology and tissue microarchitecture in real-time. Subsequently, they can analyze these structures with greater accuracy. In addition to dynamic imaging of the normal and pathological vasculature.
How do Doctors perform Cellvizio?
During an endoscopic procedure, the physician identifies an area of interest. Next, the physician introduces a mini probe into the working channel of the endoscope. Then, the endoscopic image shows the mini probe, and the physician positions it in contact with your cells. Finally, the system displays a Cellvizio video in real-time, allowing for immediate observation and analysis.
How much does the treatment cost?
Costs vary depending on insurance status, length of procedure, resource use, and so on. Contact us for more information and visit the Pricing Page.
Expected Results
The system sends the images taken using the Cellvizio to a database, where the physician will review the results. Then, the physician will schedule a follow-up appointment to discuss the plan of action.
Cellvizio Procedure Benefits
It is a minimally invasive procedure that can lead to facilities making better decisions in patient management for conditions. Such as Barrett’s Esophagus and other diseases of the esophagus and stomach.
Associated Risks
It is a very safe procedure. Please let us know if you are allergic to fluorescein. Having bright green urine for a few hours after the procedure is common and does not need any treatment.
